Peter Layton & Friends
Celebrating London Glassblowing

Established by Peter Layton in 1976, London Glassblowing Workshop was among the first hot-glass studios in Europe. Surviving the vicissitudes of economy and fashion, the studio has developed in parallel with the Studio Glass Movement, having a major influence on both the British and international glass scene.
In the few short decades since its beginnings in the 1960s, the Studio Glass Movement has evolved into a truly international phenomenon.

This book brings together the fruits of Peter's tireless efforts in establishing glassmaking in the UK and bringing the art of glass to the attention of galleries, collectors and the general public.
Sumptuously illustrated with works from some of our best contemporary makers, and including an informative and entertaining text, Peter Layton & Friends is an important addition to the literature of contemporary studio glassmaking in Britain.
